Light height directly factors into PPFD calculations. @Rahz Am I missing something here?

Because PPFD is measured at certain heights.

Right, I was just using training techniques, or lack there of, to note that there'd be a difference in yield. You can't do the same thing you'd do under a Gavitas on 10ft ceilings as you'd want to do on an LED at 24-36inches. But trained properly, could go toe to toe with it and provide a...

Yeah, we'd be looking at similar results. Keep that canopy even and packed is the key to taking advantage of the benefits of LED.

A SCROG is going to do better than a main cola dominant plant, probably. The more you can spread out your canopy to take advantage of the even footprint at 36 inches, the better. If you let a plant grow up, the lower stuff isn't going to get that same PPFD. But if I mainline and SCROG, all colas...

No, but I'm not out asking about the specifics of the processor if I don't care to take notes, either. False equivalence, bruh. Go back and read my reply a couple messages back. There is no such thing as a watt to watt equivalent due to efficiency and parts used from lamp to lamp. Commercial...

This is strain, grower, environment, training technique, and nutrient dependent. Let's not be dense. You can't, for a single second, assume two different growers in different rooms, using different methods, aren't going to have different results. Canopy management, organic/synthetic, grow...

There is no such thing as a watt for watt equivalent from HPS to LED. It depends on the fixture, design, and parts. I could build a mono panel that would draw a lot of watts, but not have a great footprint in regards to PPFD outside the initial 2x2. On the other hand, I could use COB LED and...

Hang on a second, let me get this straight... You come in here asking if LED will ever out do the HPS. Then you claim that the numbers DIRECTLY RELATED to determining if the LED will be able to go toe to toe with HPS aren't anything that you're willing to research or learn at this time? So, you...

Just remember - There is a reason they were selling them that cheap.

Strain depending - Mainline all day!

I've never flowered anything that small, she looked fresh out of the solo cup.

I think she should recover. How does the fresh growth look?

Just run em a 1.05mA and call it a day. You can always add more chips if you think you need them.

Did you conveniently forget about how the banks crashed the economy with predatory lending and masses lost their pensions and 401k? Then got bailed out with tax payer money? They stole twice.

Looks like overkill, imo. 12-16 chips should do a bang up job in a 4x4

Those LEC do look super frosty. I know most LED doesn't really have any real UVB oomf. LEC is still suffering the drawback of being a single bulb unit (hot spot) as opposed to multi-point, so the LED is probably going to produce more over the footprint, but the LEC is proving to grow some fine...

So, you're saying that every other company pays licensing fee to use that tech? I didn't know that, that's cool. They don't blend the phosphors, though, or at least own the patent on that. And that's what determines spectrum. But that is good info, thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately, not much. When I started to grow my own, that event coupled with another somewhat unrelated happening, my friend has stopped returning my calls. He's admittedly very busy, but I'm pretty bummed to lose contact with him. I really want him to try my last run... If anything changes...

Depends on the cut. The one I've been puffing on and will be growing next run is slightly different, and I found that it was quite the opposite effect.
